The Routledge Handbook of the Archaeology of Classical Houses and Households

The Routledge Handbook of the Archaeology of Classical Houses and Households offers a comprehensive guide to the archaeology of Graeco-Roman houses and households.

This handbook provides a chronologically expansive and geographically diverse survey of the material, both of housing itself, and of topics related to households as revealed through archaeological research. It covers a broad depth of time, spanning Early Iron Age Greece through to Late Antiquity. Geographical coverage embraces not just Greece and Italy but takes into account the wider Mediterranean basin. Presentations of housing from a range of sites place them into their historical and archaeological contexts and include not only well-known examples but also those from less conspicuous locations.

The Routledge Handbook of the Archaeology of Classical Houses and Households is for undergraduates to graduate students, professionals as well as researchers in Archaeology and Classics interested in the social life of the Greek and Roman world and beyond.
